Seed Exchange Application

Agriculture and seeds provide the basis upon which our lives depend. We must protect this foundation as a safe and genetically stable source for future generations. For the benefit of all farmers, gardeners and consumers who want an alternative. I promise that I do not knowingly buy, grow, share or trade genetically engineered (“GMO”) seeds or plants.

Additionally, as a member of The Library at BBG Seed Exchange, I promise to grow plants and save seeds according to best practices to insure that I return viable seed that will produce plants true to the variety I label them to be.

If you have questions, please call or email:

The Seed Exchange is a free program committed to increasing our ability to feed ourselves wholesome food by offering seeds and education. Through the time-honored tradition of seed saving we celebrate biodiversity, nurture locally adapted plant varieties and foster community resilience, self-reliance and a culture of sharing. The Seed Exchange operates on the honor system. You become a member automatically when you withdraw seeds to plant. We encourage all members to learn basic seed-saving techniques. If you are unable to save your own seed, we ask that you donate a packet or two of fresh, commercially grown, open-pollinated (non-hybrid, non-GMO) seed or make a $10 donation to help us keep the exchange well stocked.
